50/10 Lead-acid (secondary) batteries

Vent plugs designed to eliminate
spray but give free exit of gases
Cell pillars and connectors give minimum
resistance and maximum current flow

Cell lids of opaque styrene
acrylonitrile (SAN)

Negative plates, pasted grids, provide
perfect balance with the positive to
give maximum performance

Sintered microporous PVC separators
give minimum resistance

Plante’positive plates constructed
of pure lead ensure that there is no
fall-off in capacity throughout theil
long life

Plastic containers of transparent
SAN allow the electrolyte level
and cell condition to be clearly
seen
